Nope, the rest of it is too as you are now seeing. Unless you don't consider a 25% tariff to be a problem for Canada. You can't screw over a trading partner and expect them to still trade with you fair and square. That's just not how the world works. Trump didn't respect us the first time and we lost ground, Biden didn't respect us either and one of his first actions upon taking office was a slap in the face to our oil industry and then protectionism which we had to fight to get exceptions for and now we're back to trump who's looking at a tariff. And the US Has complained loudly about our supply management, border issues and other issues such as bringing in Chinese steel and passing it off as our own to bypass their tariffs on Chinese Steel. When we abuse our relationship with them like that of course they're going to turn around and retaliate. Obviously Trudeau didn't think it was much of a problem same as you do and now you're all surprised that they're going to slap a 25% tariff? Please. We're lucky it didn't happen sooner. Now we'll have to negotiate from a position of weakness and try and resolve this

Tariffs on Canadian Goods
CdnFox replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Canada / United States Relations
It did. I mean it didn't end the country or anything but it had a significant impact. Our countries trade surplus With the US went down substantially after Justin's negotiations and stayed there until just after covid where pent-up demand led to additional demand for some of our products for a short period, and now it's falling again. Considering our increase in population and general inflation it should have been about two times what it was in harper's day at this point but most years it didn't even reach anywhere close to what it was and even now except for one year barely exceeds it. That's 10 years later. It wouldn't be smart with any foreign leader but with trump, and just before negotiations, it was just a terrible idea. And speaking out against trump during this election was also a bad idea and his people have come out swinging and talking about how absolutely terrible Justin is which is not a great place to start. Mulroney, Chretien, harper.... You could disagree with their politics but all three of them did a good job working with the united states often even when there were disagreements or disputes. All three negotiated better trade agreements that moved our country forward. But Trudeau moved us backwards and he's not heading in the right direction right now -
And would immediately just denounce your source as being too partisan Or claim that it says something completely other than what it says etc etc I mean it's not like he can actually argue with what you said and make a reasonable counter argument. He knows you're right so sea lioning is only thing he's got

Kamala Harris Early Frontrunner For 2028
CdnFox replied to CouchPotato's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Not really. It's impossible to be extremely accurate or anything but it's kind of like predicting next year's stanley Cup division finalists. There's only so many teams, you have a pretty good idea of how they perform, it's not hard to say that two or three of them are almost certain to be serious contenders for the cup. Sure, anything's possible and maybe one of them gets knocked out early but the reality is most of the time you can predict With reasonable accuracy who at least one or two of the teams will be serious contenders. We don't know everybody that's going to put their name in the ring. But there's a few people you can begin to expect will be there. Again not with perfect accuracy or anything but with better than even odds. For example barring unforeseen circumstances it's almost guaranteed that vance will be throwing his hat in the ring to replace trump. Now maybe he gets hit by a falling meteorite and doesn't or something but it's a pretty reasonable bet -
The View Scared to Make False Accusations Now
CdnFox replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
you made a number of claims, including that right wing losers are freaking out about a daytime talk show That's pretty much your imagination. Kind of sounds like you're pretty upset about it though. Maybe you think it's a lot more important than even we do The evidence was right in the original article. It's common knowledge the view is popular, and the article mentioned that they had to be corrected for legal reasons a number of times in one show and that they are now concerned about it No, that's the pattern you like to lie about whenever you can't actually make an argument. dismiss any facts or evidence that you don't like Insist that others don't present evidence or facts when they do in order to prevent having to form an argument yourself Lie your ass off until you get caught Then insult everybody and pretend that you're stupid is their fault You say somebody is boring what you really mean is your emotionally distraught and buthurt about them having shot down another one of your false statements. Hey, if you actually thought I was wrong about any of it you to presented your own evidence to the contrary. So it's pretty obvious that you're just buthurt that I'm right yet again You are endlessly hilarious -
It certainly wouldn't do us any good that's for sure. At the very least it would be likely to crash our dollar. And yes as you say he's going to walk in and say he wants this and this and that and that with regards to military spending border issues and supply management and then he'll negotiate a small amount to make it look like he was being reasonable and finally cave. In the meantime he'll pocket any tariff money he does get to help reduce his deficit which he's been criticized for in the past. Trump is a bully, and uses bully tactics. And he hates Justin Trudeau and we'll be very happy to make Justin look like a weak little frail girly man yet again. We will get through it. But let's not forget that Biden wasn't exactly a friend to Canada when it came to trade either. We have let ourselves get into a position where we are completely subservient after 10 years of Trudeau. Prior to that Obama talk tough on trade and harper talked even tougher back and we got what we wanted.

A lot of who the democrats push to be the nominee depends on their ability for fundraising. Hillary and Bill Clinton were amazing fundraisers. Biden rocked in the cash like nobody's business. The democrats tend to prize that a great deal. To a degree that plays a role in All American politics. It's one of the things that our canadian federal system shelters us from because donations are capped. There's also an interesting problem that was highlighted by a rather extensive research study. The upper echelon elite democrats are vastly disconnected from the average person. This is why they believed that things like women's Reproductive Rights would win them the election. It was hyper important to the elites, but it wasn't nearly as important to the average democrat who is more worried about putting food on their table. They believed that trump was an existential threat to the democracy of the united states, and the average person just wasn't buying that so that campaign didn't resonate. And they tried once again to put together the intersectional coalition that Obama successfully did and they couldn't.

We did and we lost. Both Canada and Mexico had to give concessions. Jerome made the mistake I was speaking of him insultingly just before negotiations and it cost us. He's been bad-mouthing him again recently and not surprisingly all of trump's people have come out saying how much they hate Trudeau. -
Virtually none of that is true. All of that was rejected by America in the last election, and the polls indicate that in Canada the rejection is going to be even larger. What people want is opportunity. And that's what's been taken from them. That's what trump promised and kamala didn't. and that's what trudeau stole from canadians and what Poilievre promises to restore.

Says the man who just presented no evidence I present evidence all the time, but then you pull the second common lefty trip which is to pretend that evidence isn't evidence and lie your ass off about it. As far as evidence of this goes I just pointed out you did it again. And the evidence of that is in this very thread where you did it again. So there you go. -
Kamala Harris Early Frontrunner For 2028
CdnFox replied to CouchPotato's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
It is quite possible. Predicting who will win with certain he is a lot more difficult but predicting a frontrunner is not challenging at all in many cases. Sometimes it's less clear, but sometimes it's pretty obvious. A lot of people predicted trump would run again this time and that he would have a good chance of winning the nomination. -
But it was happening in fact. And if it isn't then you won't mind that there's laws being passed forbidding it will you. I mean if it never ever happens then there's no harm in having a law forbidding it. Truth is it's happened thousands of times in Canada alone. There's actually a clinic in Ontario that specializes in it. Children over 14 didn't even need to have their parents approval to go for the consultations. Once again, you have to lie. Tons of information on it with a simple web search. And why would I bother looking it up for you? Every time I point you to the facts you lie and pretend they don't exist. I just named a very specific American text that outlines gender dysphoria as a disorder and you claimed it was out of date. The fact of the matter is it's absolutely up to date to this second. Kamala was largely ridiculed for her stance on this during the election, this isn't contentious this is common knowledge. Look it up or live in ignorance your choice So what? How is that relevant to what we were discussing? Did Kamala Harris bring that law in? At the end of the day you're still back to the same point. Kamala wanted to extend that to illegal aliens in the united states in general. Generally speaking republicans have no interest in paying for illegal immigrants in custody to receive gender affirming operations at their expense. Not complicated is it

That was July. And no it's not outdated it's still listed in the same book the same way. Not even relevant kiddo. Those are entirely different issues. The word gender dysphoria does not even appear in that document So once again you resort to lying. You post a link that has absolutely nothing to do with what we were discussing and pretend it somehow proves something. Do you not read your links? Do you just Google search and hope like hell that what you're posting has some sort of relevance? The very fact that you have to lie to try and make your point proves you don't have a point Nope. Go read the treatment Nope. Uttering complete lie. Having support around you can help a little bit but in no way shape or formed as a resolve the issue and you will still feel incredible suffering. Once again you failed to provide any Relevant information and you're dishonest about the information that's been presented. Which just goes to prove that the transgender rights argument is mostly made up of lies. You're proving that with every single post

It's not hypocritical in the slightest. In fact it's inevitable. If somebody breaks into your home and steals $1,000 worth of stuff, and at the same time someone else breaks in and steals $100 worth of stuff, and you catch them both you're not going to say, this guy only stole $100 worth of stuff there's no point in punishing him. Instead you're going to say both of them deserve to go to jail and treat them both the same way. This was entirely predictable and because Justin Trudeau turned a blind eye to it America is pissed
-
If I were these guys I would be more worried about getting a list of names of people who needed treatment. Anybody who actually emotionally breaks down because there's a new president is not fit to be doing the job. If you are so emotionally broken up about a new president that you are emotionally just over it the correct course of action is to quit immediately

CdnFox replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Canada / United States Relations
Dude, if your argument is that Trudeau is somehow a tougher guy than Poilievre your credibility just went from 0 to a massively large negative number. Poilievre is a considerably better negotiator than Trudeau. More importantly he's baggage free, where is Trudeau has a long history of being belligerent with trump and trump turning around and smacking him around and hurting our trade deals. Trump already refused Trudeau as a useless weakling not just bragged in the past about how easy it is for him to push Trudeau around And let's face it, you do like Trudeau. Is all but destroyed Canada and you have to be 16 different kinds of stupid to think he'll do well with trump and you're here shilling for him. -
These people are coming into our country and then exiting into the US. So it is absolutely our problem because we're not vetting who's coming in. And we're not tracking them. Harper foresaw this was going to be a problem and made it a requirement that Mexicans for example provide a passport when coming to Canada. Trudeau took that away. Now it's a problem. As usual vote woke go broke. If we're allowing people to come into the country and then illegally cross our border into america then we have no one to blame but ourselves when they retaliate.

The left wings answer to absolutely everybody who disagrees with them is that "You just don't understand!". Like you're some teenagers who think their parents don't get what it's like to go through puberty. They understand fine. They also understand what a negotiating tactic is. You seem a little unclear on both. And let me remind you that any tariff money collected actually goes to the federal government's pockets which means they have more room to do things on tax reduction. Trudeau will handle it but there is an obvious way to deal with this
